Hi,
today I noticed that yum-priorities is not anymore in the base distribution - a fact that seems to be well documented. However the yum-utils src rpm still builds that package.
Therefore I was wondering why yum-priorities is available in extras and not in addons.
Basically http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General says:
What are all the CentOS repositories (directories) and what is each one for?
addons Contains packages required in order to build the main Distribution or packages produced by SRPMS built in the main Distribution, but not included in the main Red Hat package tree (mysql-server in CentOS-3.x falls into this category). Packages contained in the addons repository should be considered essentially a part of the core distribution, but may not be in the main Red Hat Package tree.
However the addons repo is completely empty for CentOS 5.4. Does that mean addons is deprecated?

This is an issue I hope to have fixed in the next few days ( well, before the end of this year anyway! ). We have a tree-compose script breakdown ( as in me fat fingering it ) at 5.4 release time, which meant a few yum-utils subpackages were left out.
These packages are not included in the distro upstream.

Because of the above mentioned issue.

for x86_64 and i386, yes its not used at all.
